Hi all,

I was out playing golf in Devonshire in England last week, and took a few pics when I was there as the weather was gorgeous and so was the setting.

Had a great 600 mile round trip and really got to know the car. I drove pretty fast, averaging around 70mph (according to my Nuvi) and on the motorways I was cruising at 85-95, but still managed to get 26.6mpg which I thought was impressive.

The most impressive thing though is the awesome overtaking power. Down on these country roads a fast car for overtaking is essential, and this thing is crazy!

After 1700 miles (in 17 days) I am really beginning to get know the car, but I can feel that the engine is still very tight and there is even more to come!!!

Anyway here are the pics:

And I just put a post in your other thread asking the location, again nice pics.

Hi, it's North Devonshire, near a town called Saunton.

I might be able to get a pic on a beach like that, if I can get my car on the pier of huntington beach...doubt it though. :smile: That would be a good area for pics when I do get it though. I plan to drive it to southern cali, go on a shoot with the old subie guys hopefully, if not just my cousin's, visit the friends, then back up here to work and finish the rest of the break-in.
